Model: RE220  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.23 Build 230418 Rel.60395n (8583)

I just activated RE220. 

 

It required Host Router Wifi passwords (both 2.4 and 5) to be entered in order to connect. 

 

Both passwords are showing in clear/plain text. I did not see any option to hide. I know we could hide the SSID but why password is in plain text? Am I missing any setting to accomplish it?

 

 

Thanks,

RRRE220

This should not be a problem if you're the only person who knows the RE220 admin password. This password is visible only for the RE220 administrator account.

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".

Thanks for the response. I found similar topic on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/TpLink/comments/17tlx6r/my_wifi_password_is_visible_by_default_how_do_i/) but it does not have the proper response/solution also. Please read it.


I hope you understand my wish. If the admin logs in and there is a camera in the room, it is captured, or it is breached if anyone next to him. This feature should be enabled in tplink router/extender. In reality, the Internet basically is not 100% secured so I am not crazy about absolute security, but I am sure not many users would like to see their passwords in clear text instead of asterisks (*). The password fields actually can even be removed from that screen as not needed to be there until it needs to be modified. I hope tplink Support team will read and respond to their users' feedback like this sooner.
